A fire ignited the location of the attacked tribe.

It was just to clean up the traces of the battle, because this tribe was located in the open space between the ditches, which was originally intended to be considered for the water source, but at this time, it also provided conditions for killing and burning corpses.

Just when the first sealed Zhenghei Flag won its first victory, on a mountain hundreds of miles away from here, a Taoist priest was walking lightly on the mountain road.

"After crossing this mountain, you should reach the boundary of the Qiang tribe, right?"

Qiang tribes

Under the leafy trees, young children are playing.

These children, dressed only in short shirts, with leather straps around their waists, and small daggers pinned to them, looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and could already join forces to kill one or two small beasts.

The grassland tribe has never had a weak person, even if it is just a young child, and the difficult life makes the weak existence here, it is impossible to survive.

Children born crippled have no chance of survival.

And the children who have the potential to become warriors, with extra care, in the future, the warriors can have the best dwelling in the tribe, and can be favored by the most beautiful girls in the tribe.

But at this time, except for the children, the tribe fell into a pain, and lost half of the warriors at once, and the strength of the tribe suddenly became difficult.

The rain was falling, and Chongxuan took a person and stepped in the mountains and forests.

Halfway up the mountain, the green trees and moss along the way, it is very slippery, Chongxuan looks around, in the rain curtain, the mountains are all green, between the pitches, the heart is relaxed.

It was followed by a young man, looking around coldly.

This is a walking warrior of the Daomen, wearing soft armor and carrying a long sword, as long as he is not surrounded by more than a thousand people, or hundreds of people attack, he can kill out.

Soon after, after a shrub, the tribe and Chongxuan came into contact.

"The tribe here still knows me, although not as familiar as the Xianbei tribe!"

There were more than a dozen warriors holding spears and staring at him, but Chonggen said to the walking samurai, so that he didn't have to be too nervous.

After a while, a middle-aged man came over, with a pair of dark eyebrows and rough skin, and when he saw Chongxuan, he was stunned at first, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be the Taoist chief, come in." ”

Unexpectedly, the Qiang tribesmen welcomed Chongxuan's arrival.

The patriarch of the Qiang tribe was very enthusiastic about Chongxuan, which made Chongxuan sigh at the weight of the bargaining chips in the negotiations.

After entering the camp tent, Chongxuan directly proposed the purpose of the trip.

The Qiang people were just stunned, did not get angry, were silent for a while, and said, "It turns out that the Taoist chief came here for this? Isn't the Taoist Commander afraid that I will order the warriors to kill you? ”

"Hmph, I have this warrior by my side, one person can kill a hundred of you, and I will fight a thousand warriors with one enemy, if you give the order, no one in the camp will survive."

Chongxuan said, paused, and said, "And even if you kill me, what? I am the messenger of the Son of Heaven of the Han family, if you kill me, the Son of Heaven of the Han family will raise an army, and you can easily crush your tribe. ”

Speaking of which, Chongxuan knows the psychology of these tribes very well, although he is a little sinicized, he is very afraid of ghosts and gods, and said: "And aren't you afraid of heavenly fire?" ”

Speaking of Tianhuo, the tribesmen in the camp all changed color, and even the patriarch showed fear.

The patriarch was silent for a moment and said, "The Tianhuo of that day, I saw with my own eyes, the strength of the Han Kingdom is indeed not something that the Qiang tribe can resist, but this matter must be discussed with the elders and priests of the clan. ”

"It's nature." Chongxuan said with a smile and watched the patriarch go out.

It didn't take long for the sound of drums beating outside, and looking through the gap, I saw a cow being pulled out, which was a ritual to kill the cow and sacrifice to the gods.

Chongxuan stopped watching, and returned to his seat to close his eyes and recuperate.

I thought that it would drag on for some time, but I didn't expect that at dusk, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe invited him over again and agreed to surrender to the Han.

"Don't hide it, my department has received the news of the extermination of the Hexi clan last night, it seems that the Murong department has taken action, they have the salt and weapons provided by the emperor of the Han family, and it is no longer for our department to resist.

Such a person, we don't want to be an enemy of it, the strength of the Son of Heaven of the Han family is not comparable to my department, I am willing to surrender to the Son of Heaven of the Han family, but I hope that the Son of Heaven of the Han family can give my department the same preferential treatment as the Murong Department. ”

The patriarch finally said that for him, in fact, the threat of the Murong tribe on this grassland was even more obvious, and without the support of the Han State, it would be annexed sooner or later.

Although the area on the grassland is very vast, the farther south it is, the more abundant the pasture, the more water there is, and the more bitter cold it is, so the more powerful the tribe, the distance is not Taiyuan.

Chongxuan agreed.

This is the plan of the court, even if the Qiang people do not ask for it, he will also arrange it like this, Chongxuan said: "The emperor of the Han family is now conquering the ministers, we can go to meet the general first, and then go to the court to pay homage!" ”

After the Xianbei Division, the Qiang People's Department became the second banner, the name of the white flag.

The Eight Banners of the Grassland, there are already two flags, which has opened a long-term prelude to the extermination campaign of all ethnic groups in Beiyi.

It has entered the summer harvest season, and the whole world is forced to be quiet, whether it is surrendered to the Han, or killed by him, or become the knife in his hand, in short, the overall situation of the world is barely in the hands of the Han.

Seeing that Jingzhou was generally calmed down, the various departments were stable, and with the harvest of new grain in the states, there would be no more chaos, and it was meaningless for Yang Yi to stay in Jingzhou, so she issued an order to take the imperial guards back to the capital.

In fact, there has been no chaos within the Han Kingdom, after the war, there was indeed a commotion in Chang'an City, and even rumors of defeat, but there was no chaos, and the various departments and yamen were quickly mobilized.

Nowadays, in the Han Kingdom, there are patrols everywhere, and it is also a training exercise, for example, all the corps in the north must send one to the south to take turns for two years, half of which is spent on the road, and it is also a patrol.

The same is true of the legions in the south, as well as the legions of Xiliang, and there will be the legions of Jingzhou in the future.

In the city, the government servants were used to maintain the order of the market and the night curfew, the market and shops were forcibly opened, the brocade guards and the internal guards were delayed, and some people who wanted to accumulate rumors were immediately taken down, beheaded and confiscated, and materials were injected into the market, so that some people were relieved of the panic.

When the emperor returned to the court, everything was quiet, and the news of the capture of a state was spread all over the country, and quickly spread to the entire Han Kingdom, from Shu to Xiliang, and the people's hearts were immediately calm.

The armies toured the city for a week, each returned to the camp, and gradually everything returned to normal. Eighth Library

In a restaurant, a group of businessmen withdrew their gaze.

"The Son of Heaven of the Han family has really returned to the division." In the small hall, several businessmen were whispering.

"It is said that the army did not lose anything, and also collected 100,000 surrendered troops, most of these surrendered troops were incorporated and returned to the counties and generals' mansions in Jingzhou, but 30,000 went out to fight, or 30,000 returned to the division, and the previous hope was lost or even defeated, but now it seems to have failed."

"This rumor that Jingzhou has fallen after hearing the wind seems to be right, it's a pity, how come they don't know that as long as a city and a city stick to it, they can always fight for a year, with 100,000 casualties!"

"If you resist like this, the end after the city is broken is the destruction of the clan, how many people are willing? Would you like to? Someone sneered and said: "Although the Han is generous, there is usually only one result for the families that resolutely resist and cause damage - to suppress the three clans." ”

"There's a reply, there can't be more action at the moment, the eyeliner is very tight, the slightest movement will be discovered, and then it will be missing, or even directly raid the family and exterminate the family."

A middle-aged man in the middle nodded, he was not surprised by this result, the generosity of the Han family is to treat the people and treat their own people, but they are never tolerant of the enemy, they will raid the family and exterminate the clan at every turn, and there is nothing wrong with their own people, and they are conservative in the case of one wrong step and the clan will be destroyed, which is human nature.

No matter who is behind it, in this case, it is impossible to force the merchant or spy to risk his life, otherwise he will rebel.

"But we've all seen it, although the Han State now occupies a few states, but these states have gone through decades of chaotic wars, and the small population is the biggest problem, and there are still some ways to think of it."

"What the Han State can draw out now is expected to be a maximum of 50,000 soldiers, and now all states need the presence of enough garrisons to slowly consolidate and digest these areas, it doesn't matter if the country moves troops internally, if it goes to war, it will be difficult."

"Not to mention that large-scale land reclamation is still being promoted, and due to the lack of young and strong labor, women and children have to work, and in this case, it is unlikely that there will be a large-scale war." Someone said.

"The problem is Hongnong, this land is narrow and there are few people, as long as Jingzhou and Jingzhou are settled, it is difficult to resist with only one place, although it is unlikely that there will be a large-scale war, but it is very likely that the division will continue to be pacified within this year, don't forget, the 30,000 troops of the Han family basically have no losses."

"It's not wrong that the 30,000 army doesn't have many losses, but the expedition is also very tired, and I don't think it's likely that it will be fought in the near future, plus all kinds of government affairs, there will always be a period of time to digest."

"Even so, if you delay it for another half a year at most, you can't stop it, and after the autumn harvest, maybe you can free up tens of thousands of troops."

"There are also Han states, although most of the population has been consumed, but Shu is known as the country of abundance, Jingzhou is the hometown of corn, that is, Guanzhong, and the state, since ancient times, it is also rich in production, very fertile, in addition, the Han family also has the advantage of trade routes, I heard that now the Han family has been ordered to open up the Jingzhou trade route, straight to Jiaozhou, this is not good news!"

At this point, the emperor of the Han family, as the monarch, is very active, and they are all surprised, God knows, why this person has this idea.

Every time a piece of land is laid, the road is built first, and the road is still very well repaired, and it is extremely difficult to destroy, and even one road is not good, and one after another is repaired.

For a while, the people in the hall spoke out to discuss, but the news was quickly summed up: "No matter what, we must quickly pass the news to the top and let them decide." ”

Almost at the same time, the process of returning to Chang'an was uneventful, Yang Yi bathed and cleansed himself, and went to the temple to pay tribute to his ancestors.

This year is only half over, but the recovery of Jingzhou and the two states, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty and the two states are a great achievement, according to tradition, Yang Yi must sue the temple.

First of all, the flag guard set off first, bringing a pair of white cattle and white sheep, as well as a sacrifice in the big plate, to the temple, Yang Yi first stared, only to see that the temple was faintly red, and the red dragon had grown a little stronger, the white Jiao had been scarred everywhere, the black Jiao had even degenerated into a snake, and the dragon and wolf gas phase was also different from before, and the dragon part had degenerated.

Burning the sacrifice and reading the sacrifice, Yang Yi smiled slightly, and this luck accumulation reached a peak again.

Turning to leave, Yang Yi asked Liji: "How are the preparations for the knighthood?" ”

"The lord, according to the ancient rites, the prince has a green jade seal, which is already being carved, followed by the golden book and the crown clothes."

"The crown should be red at the top and Xuan at the bottom, and it should be added to seven chapters." Yang Yi said instructively.

According to the ancient law, the twelve chapters of the Son of Heaven are the sun, the moon, the stars, the dragon, the mountain, the Chinese worm, the fire, the Zongyi, the algae, the powdered rice, the yellow, and the yellow.

Wang Jiuzhang, the removal of the sun, moon and stars, marks that he is no longer under the command of the sky.

There are seven chapters in the public.

Hou Wuzhang.

This time, he was knighted, and the most expensive was knighted, waiting for the unification of the world, and he would seal nine kings and divide the town into nine domains.

This is far away, but after this order continues, the Rite Division still refuses to do it, saying: "Holy Lord, all the successive generations of marquis and dukes have to be posthumously crowned for three generations, but you only chase one generation, which is not in line with the etiquette law." ”

Yang Yi said: "Each family only chases one generation, you don't have to ask about the rest." ”

This is a matter of dynastic luck, and it is okay to chase a few more generations, but it is too troublesome, as for the ceremony, it is not what the emperor said!

At this time, after the Rites had not yet achieved the general trend of Confucianism, those scholars were bored, only fighting for great gifts and not fighting for the country, and after hearing this, they hesitated for a moment, but they didn't say much.

The four seasons of the mountain are in a mountain range, with the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and all kinds of plants that should not appear at the same time can thrive in this mountain range.

Such mountains are rare in the world, but they are located in the Central Plains of the Yellow Mountain.

There are 72 peaks in Yellow Mountain, the main peak is Lotus Peak, and Guangming Peak, Tiandu Peak is called the three main peaks of Yellow Mountain, and it is one of the 36 major peaks.

The original name of Yellow Mountain is "Yishan", because the peak rock is blue and black, and it is named after looking at Cangdai from afar.

Later, because Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor had been alchemy here, it was renamed "Yellow Mountain".

The representative landscape of Huangshan has "five unique and three waterfalls", five unique: strange pines, strange stones, sea of clouds, hot springs, winter snow; Three waterfalls: herringbone waterfall, Baizhang Spring, Jiulong Waterfall.

Later generations praised: "The famous mountains at home and abroad are not as good as the Yellow Mountain of the Emblem." Climb the Yellow Mountain, there is no mountain in the world, and the view is stopped! ”

It was extended by later generations as "the return of the five mountains does not look at the mountain, and the return of the Yellow Mountain does not look at the mountain".

This kind of immortal mountain, the people under the mountain easily dare not enter the mountain, they believe that in this deep mountain land, there are immortals living in it, and they are afraid that they will take a risk and provoke the immortals to surrender.

The root of similar legends that have never disappeared for thousands of years lies in the fact that there is indeed a group of people living in this vast and deep mountain land.

It's just that it's not an immortal, it's just a group of qi practitioners who live in seclusion.

Strictly speaking, being able to drive puppets, cast spells, and jump high and low with light bodies is indeed a god in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, some qi practitioners themselves understand very well that they are still far from the immortal path.
